It could be argued that 2024 wasn’t the best year for television.

Highly anticipated shows like the final season of Stranger Things, The Last of Us and The White Lotus didn’t even make it on the calendar and will instead return in 2025. Streamers and networks tightened their budgets by saying yes to less.

Writing off this year’s selection, however, seems unfair. There were new standout comedies, dramas, reality TV and remakes of old favourites that caught the attention of viewers, awards voters and the zeitgeist.

In no particular order, here are 10 new shows from 2024 to check out before the new year.
